September 12, 1922 - July 19, 2013

Colorado Springs, CO - Formerly of Newburgh, NY

It saddens us tremendously to announce the passing of our loving mother, Anita Perran (nee Downey), of Colorado Springs, CO, originally from St. Johns Newfoundland, Canada, on July 19th, 2013 at age 90.

Anita was predeceased by her husband, Tom Perran in 1996 and her youngest daughter, Anita Bondur in 1998; her brother, Bill Downey and her sisters: Gertrude Stamp, Kay O'Leary, and Isabella Ashley. Anita devoted most of her life to her husband, Tom and their seven children: Bob (Linda) of Homosassa Springs, FL, Jean (Brian "Duby" Ellis) of Newburgh, NY, Jerry (Lucy) of Ft. Lauderdale, FL, Don (Dawn) of Cary, NC, Randy (Kelly) of Elizabeth, CO, Noel (Denise) of Colorado Springs, CO; twenty-five grandchildren; numerous great-grandchildren; one great great grandchild and her three sisters: Margaret Mahoney, Mary Morris, and Rose Perran.

Anita was an accomplished bowler in the 1960's and in later years an avid bird watcher. She loved her native Newfoundland, spending many summers there. Her faith gave her strength until death at home with family. (Home at last!)

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the AmVets Hudson Valley Post #826, 501 Upper Ave., Newburgh, NY 12550 in Anita's name.
